Joint inventions by Tokyo Tech researchers and corporate researchers

As a result of joint research, a "joint invention" may be produced for which the inventors are both Tokyo Tech researchers and corporate researchers.

Other than joint research, "joint inventions" may be produced from ideas that come to mind during talks between researchers, and utilization of confidential information learned in information exchanges connected with MTA and NDA agreements.

Tokyo Tech can decide on the implementer without the consent of the corporation.

Compensated transfer

Rights held by Tokyo Tech are transferred to the corporation for a fee.

Inventions only Tokyo Tech researchers invented in the course of joint research and commissioned research

Normally, only Tokyo Tech is the applicant (holder of rights); however, part of the rights may be transferred to the corporation and a joint application (exclusive implementation in the chart above) is filed.
